Teen admits setting fire to Tully St. home

A Syracuse teen pleaded guilty today to setting fire to a Tully Street home where occupants were alerted of the early morning blaze by neighbors.

Samuel Bush, 17, of 136 Lakeview Ave., pleaded guilty to second-degree arson, admitting he set fire to 703 Tully St. on July 25.

Onondaga County Judge William Walsh promised youthful offender treatment and 1 1/3 to 4 years in state prison. Senior Assistant District Attorney Timothy Hennigan said Bush and a juvenile were angry with someone from another Tully Street family and were going after them when they set the wrong house on fire.
